The conversation of xiao lie and Shan Shan's daughter came to a halt due to the sound of eunuch bells
It was a sign that it was time for the nobles to pay their respects to the imperial family and congratulate the future crown princess and crown prince
Crown Prince Xuan Yi continued to nod his head and smiled faintly as the nobles took turns congratulating him
While Xiao Lie just nodded his head and felt no need to smile because he was still using his veil
Arriving as the prime minister and his family congratulated him, xiao Lie smiled slightly at the wry face of Lins siqi the young miss of the prime minister's family
Likewise with the family of the finance minister, they seemed to be sincere in congratulating
And xiao lie was certain that soon these people would create trouble for him
After the ministers and high workers in the palace congratulated him, it was now the turn of the invited nobles to congratulate the crown prince
Up to the last line Xiao Lie saw his future cousin's family and his own cousin standing not far from him and waiting for the queue
Xiao Lie slightly narrowed his eyes when he saw the appearance of his cousin
There was nothing strange about her dress, her cousin wore a light purple dress that seemed to match her rather tan skin
But what disturbs the vision of Xiao lie is a series of jewelry that adorns the body of his cousin, he is even more like a jewelry statue in his shop
After all giving congratulations the crown prince is now preoccupied with the ministers who are licking
While Xiao lie's cousin Jin Hua, came over to him
Come to think of it, the nobles should also come to him like a sycophant in general, but the truth is not
They think I'm nothing compared to them
" Hey old sister didn't meet, how are you?" ask Jin Hua
" Good brother, what about brother and uncle and aunt?"
" We're fine little sister." Jin Hua replied with a sweet smile.
But Xiao Lie certainly knew that it was not a sincere smile
Long before Jin Hua approached him Xiao Lie had already felt wrong with this person
And it turned out to be true, after staring at his cousin intensely Xiao lie found out that his cousin was intending to humiliate him in public by opening his veil
It seems that his cousin still remained firm with his thoughts that his face was so ugly that he did not dare to show it to strangers
But Xiao Lie let all that go, he also planned to not continue hiding behind his veil
The wealth he already had, the power he also had was already in the stage of refining it and now the connection
He must have a good connection for everything to run smoothly
" Good sister, there are ants on your veil" Jin Hua shouted frantically and pulled the xiao lie veil
Jin Hua's shout made the entire people he had in the hall see him
While Xiao Lie who had expected all this just looked at Jin Hua with his flat gaze but who knew that in his heart was laughing happily at the look on his cousin's face that looked ridiculous
Not only his cousin, everyone in the party hall was dumbfounded with gaping mouths so surprised, he said, but what made xiao Lie want to laugh until he rolled around was the look of shock from Lin siqi and Yu Hua
There was also Bai Ju who was standing next to Sun Jian, truly a shameless person
How could he stand side by side with another girl while his own fiancee was sitting not far from him, and again why did these nobles not comment anything
Xiao Lie did not want to demean anyone's status but after all a servant should know his limits and his place
Plaakkp......
The silent atmosphere in the party hall came to a halt due to the sound of a loud slap from someone to make the slapped one fall
" how dare you.." the crown prince growled, pointing at Jin Hua with his sharp gaze.
Jin Hua who was holding onto her sore cheek, even her lips were bleeding
He believes his cheeks will turn blue for the next few days
He glanced at his fiancee who was standing not far from his place, but his hopes were in vain
Instead of approaching him or defending himself, his fiancee glared at him in anger
Jin Hua thought he could bring down his cousin by opening his veil, but the truth was the opposite
Her cousin was very charming and Jin Hua admitted that, she had never even seen a girl as beautiful as her cousin
Jin Hua looked at his cousin with a pleading gaze, he did not dare to say a word to defend himself
" His Majesty, jiejie accidentally. He didn't hurt me at all" anyway"
Xuan Yi turned to face Xiao lie who was standing behind him
Seeing her beautiful face again Xuan Yi was stunned, but this was not the first time
Why does this girl have to dress up anyway
And behold now all eyes are looking upon her beauty blatantly
And again look.....jeez what's with this little girl's lips? why so tempting
Her naturally reddened lips now look more seductive because of wearing a lip reddener
If this is how I can forgive......
" Your crown prince is okay?" xiao Lie asked as he waved his hand in front of the crown prince's face who had fallen silent earlier
" Didn't you bring another lilie veil?" ask Xuan Yi
Xiao Lie shook his head and looked at his veil that was already dirty from falling over
" Not the noble after all they already know my face so useless also if it is covered again
And we are in a glorious official event, please take care of your conduct
We are being a spectacle of everyone" Xiao Lie said softly but was heard well by the crown prince
The crown prince reluctantly took off his hand which he unknowingly had wrapped around the slender waist of his girl
Speaking of the waist, the girl is not like most other girls
Xuan Yi had seen his mother and sister wrapped around the cloth on his waist to look slender
But not with the girl, her girl's clothes look quite thin because they do not wear the twists of cloth anymore in it
Returning to the story, Xuan Yi was now staring at his female cousin who was still sitting in front of him
He then glanced at the second son of the trade minister who looked indifferent to his own fiancee
" Lilie, what do you want me to do for your sassy cousin?"
Xiao Lie smiled faintly before answering
" Not necessarily your highness, the jiejie was trying to help me and she accidentally pulled my veil out"
" Are you sure.....?" ask Xuan Yi again
Xiao nodded his head steadily and the crown prince sent Jin Hua out of the party
The party continues until midnight, of course with a different atmosphere
Now the nobles from high to low level nobles are competing to approach him
But their hopes had to run aground because Shan Shan with his bars scolded anyone who disturbed his togetherness with his little brother-in-law
